Hearts of New York Book 1
More than recipes are mixing when the bakery owner's best customer is Forbe's youngest billionaire.
Lauren Jensen pours her heart and soul into the Muffin Top Bakery, determined to make it a success. The sweet aroma of freshly baked goods filled every corner of the cozy shop, and Lauren can’t help but feel proud of her accomplishment. But her love life is flatter than a gluten free muffin. When her ex dumps her for being ‘too fat,’ Lauren doubts she’ll ever find true happiness. Until a handsome South African hottie steps into her shop.
Paul Montrose - known as Forbes Magazine's youngest billionaire - prefers to keep a low profile. He relishes the challenge of turning struggling businesses into profitable ventures, and his latest project is a rural bank in New York. Discovering the Muffin Top Bakery is one of the bank’s clients gives Paul an excuse to visit the shop every day.
Lauren can’t help but be swept off her feet by limosines, luxury jets, and expensive dinners. But why would a handsome billionaire be attracted to a chunky small-town girl?
Paul seems to be everything Lauren hoped for.
But when a letter from Lauren’s bank arrives, notifying her that her loan is being called, Lauren's world comes crashing down. When her identity is stolen and her credit ruined, obtaining a new loan seems impossible. To make matters worse, her new boyfriend also happens to own the very bank that threatens to take away her livelihood.
How will Lauren and Paul find happiness when everything seems to be against them?
After a successful career in banking, Jane dipped her toes into writing after a life-changing event – the death of her 30-year-old son. Her book, Because of Grace, has given hope to many mothers who have experienced the same shattering grief.
She then chronicled her journey through caregiving. The Caregiving Season was born from the years spent caring for her elderly mother.
But imagining stories has always been her first love. Jane’s novels have won the Cascade Award from the (formerly Oregon Christian Writers) Cascade Christian Writers organization and in 2023 her novel, Broken, was a Carol Award semi-finalist.
In 2021, Jane and her husband sold their home and gave away most of their possessions to travel full-time in their Class A motorhome. When she isn’t gazing out the windshield and thinking about her next book, she can be found hunched over her computer, pounding out the next novel.
